Before the Chelsea game, PSG has only conceded one goal in the whole tournament and this was what was making everybody to think that Chelsea doesn't stand a chance at winning PSG. The gameplay of Chelsea was far beyond what PSG was expecting. PSG approached the game like Chelsea will be afraid to come out and play them therefore they didn't anticipated the amount of pressure that Chelsea brought to the game. Chelsea has to be praised because they achieved the unthinkable but this isn't the first time of Chelsea doing something like this therefore, I'm not surprised. Chelsea scoring the best defense in the tournament three goals without reply is crazy.

Chelsea are the real underdog in this tournament because no one ever expects them to be this exceptional in their game in the finals. PSG was the only team everyone was sure could win the finals and Chelsea will just face another defeat from them in this game. I knew Chelsea will give them a tough time but never expected them to be this tough on them that they won’t even be able to score even one goal in this match.

The underdog should now be considered secondary in terms of ability. Chelsea were a relatively weak team, that's true, but now they are in a strong position and beat PSG 3-0. It was impressive and great football for Chelsea. They used simple tactics against PSG and used Cole Palmer and João Pedro, who were in great form, correctly. I myself did not expect them to play such good football and win the trophy. I think Chelsea will gain more strength for next season and will be able to build a strong wall in the coming times, inspired by this trophy win.

So did PSG not consider Chelsea a tough opponent before entering the field or did Chelsea not plan against them with the same plan that they had against other teams centered on Luis? We know that no matter what team they are playing against, they should never be seen as weak, the opponent is always tough and the team should always be arranged considering the opponent as tough. I think PSG took the opponent tough but they could not perform well on the field as planned. In fact, they performed several times better than Chelsea normally performs in the final match, which is why PSG did not get a chance to advance, which is why this team in the English Premier League has always held the lead.
